reactant
 Use that info to pick out the excess reactant

 SCSh5. Students will demonstrate the
computation and estimation skills
necessary for analyzing data and

explanations.
 You will calculate percent yield as a way
to analyze lab data and pinpoint reasons
for discrepancies.
Percent Yield
 Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of
product that can be produced (determined
through stoichiometric calculations)
 Actual yield is the amount produced in
lab/from experiment
 Percent yield is the ratio of actual to
theoretical expressed as a percent.
% yield =
actual yield
x 100
theoretical yield
Why dont we have 100%?
Reasons for a decrease in percent
yield
 Loss of products or reactants (spill,
stick to side of containers)
 Reaction doesn’t go 100%
 Not all reactants react
 Impure reactants
 Dirty containers
